My Dad built this racer when I was 11 years old. Followed in his footsteps loving cars ever since. That was 64 years ago!

Lucky guys, my dad could not use a screwdriver, really. I got it from my mom's parents, I can fix anything. Two grandsons, age's 7 and 5, I am grooming them to follow papa. As their mothers allow, I give them tools and hopefully they will be hanging in the car shop with papa.

QUOTE(930cabman @ Dec 9 2023, 10:57 AM)  Lucky guys, my dad could not use a screwdriver, really. I got it from my mom's parents, I can fix anything. Two grandsons, age's 7 and 5, I am grooming them to follow papa. As their mothers allow, I give them tools and hopefully they will be hanging in the car shop with papa. My Dad was useless and used to wait till I got home from sea and on the first leave day home he would ring up and say his car was broken ,really not a good time everytime really. As a class 1 marine engineer I was real keen to teach my son skills in engineering as he spent too much time inside on his computer and I needed to change that, then wife (now passed on) said start a project with him would be great so we built a scrapyard mini offroad buggy and he learned so much so guickly ,man I was a proud dad ? . The project went on and developed further to better power and handling and it when from slow to fast as he got older . He at 28yrs old now works on his own MTB ,scooter and his late GTI Golf ,got his degree in IT and still thanks me for my help but he was a natural and it was fun together.  |
